Whilst some clues had definitions that seemed far too weak, there were far more clues than usual that I wanted to award points to included: 6, 17, 25, 30, 32, 36, 37, 39, 42, 43, 44, 47, & 52.
Outstanding clues for me were: my favourite 44 concise, clever and a superb surface, 52 which will be appreciated by those who Googled 'Calicos Havens'
, 32 my second favourite and unbelievably brief, 36 my third place – loved the def here! |

Not an easy phrase to clue leading to quite a few tortuous anagrams and some dubious claims for &lit.
I liked 36, particularly for avoiding the anagram, plus air travel reference, although the definition does stretch it a bit.
Points also for 30 and 32, the latter of which I liked very much at first for its brevity, but on having another look, it doesn't quite work as a definition for me. Damn good effort though. |
